Youth Recurve Bow / Youth Archery Equipment

The following is a follow up email I sent to a client after teaching his daughter this past weekend. After the lesson he had a series of questions about purchasing equipment that I answered, during which I mentioned my Archery Equipment Checklist.

Hey I!

Good meeting you both on Saturday!

If you are considering buying equipment here is that equipment checklist that I mentioned after the lesson:

The
biggest change is that you will be looking for a youth recurve bow
instead of an adult recurve bow given in the example. When your daughter
is 12 roughly she should be tall enough for an adult bow, in which case
you could sell the youth bow and buy a new one. (The good news is used
archery equipment, if you take good care of it, usually has a fairly
good resale value of about 80% of what you paid for it.)

So
for example you could get something similar to a Samick youth bow in 14
lbs. (She was shooting 12 lbs on Saturday, but an extra 2 lbs will be
okay.)

Youth Samick Recurve Bow - Priced at $159.85 CDN on Amazon.ca

If you have any follow up questions feel free to ask. Have a great day!
